Research

My research centers around Deep-Learning and its applications to Computer-Vision, in particular object/scene recognition,
content-based image retrieval and video recognition.
More specifically, I am interested in the learning of image representations using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs)
in order to re-use them (through a transfer-learning scheme) when facing with small datasets that contains too few images and/or classes to learn representations from scratch.
The learning of these image-representations is based on the unsupervised generative aspect of DCNNs which is quite powerful but complex,
making it hard to understand and thus very hard to control as we want.
Keywords: Computer-Vision, Machine-Learning, Deep-Learning, Image Understanding, Object/Scene Recognition.

Projects

AI4DTY website

A website dedicated to novice students (of Centrale-Supelec) in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), that lists many useful links, including theoretical and practical courses, frameworks, databases and misc tools.

Pedestrian Detection

Development of a module of a driving assistance application. The module consisted to detect pedestrians on video-frames obtained from an embedded camera.
I developed it using OpenCV and LibSVM libraries. [C++]

Hand-Written Digit Recognition

Development of a hand-written digit recognition system using a shallow neural network that contains multiple hidden-layers.
I developed it from scratch, i.e, without any library or framework. [Matlab]
